As per the orders of DoE, Delhi schools were ordered to be closed on July 17 and July 18, 2023. However, after witnessing a slight rise in the Yamuna water, there is a possibility that schools will be closed on Wednesday as well. Check here for more updates.
Minor rainfall in parts of Delhi resulted in a slight increase in the water level of the Yamuna river, following a continuous decline. Consequently, the Directorate of Education (DoE) instructed the closure of schools located in the Yamuna bordering areas on July 17 and 18, 2023.
With the recent rise in water levels observed on Monday, there is a chance that schools might also remain closed on July 19, 2023. However, no official confirmation has been issued by the authorities. Students are advised to stay informed or await official communication from their respective schools.
